A proper "restomod" keeps the classic lines of an original car
while fitting it with modern underpinnings, and this Marina Blue
custom widebody Corvette is an excellent example of how we at
Verrillo Motor Car envision the perfect restomod. Checking every
box from reliability to comfort, this 1967 blurs the line between
custom and modern, while never deviating from the original iconic
look of a 1967 Corvette. This Corvette was built here at Verrillo
Motor Car Company, under the direction of Joe Verrillo. If it
weren't for the subtle widened body panels and the custom-built 18"
Boze Polished wheels, a casual observer might even suspect it to be
an original 1967 Big Block Corvette Coupe; that, however, could not
be further from the truth. The body, finished in Code 976 Marina
Blue with a white stinger hood, may look like a factory original
Corvette going down the road, but as you look closer, you discover
the body has been widened in both the front and the rear to
accommodate larger 18" wheels and massive 295/35/18 (back) and
225/35/18 (front) tires. Closer inspection yields larger C6
Corvette Z06 6-Piston brakes out front, with 4 piston brakes out
back. The chassis of this car is a Street Shop Chassis, one of the
leaders in the Corvette restomod chassis industry, fitted with a C4
Corvette suspension and a Hammerhead Billet Aluminum Rear Axle with
a 3:55 ratio, Detroit Speed Rack and Pinion steering rack,
stainless steel brake and fuel lines, and a removable crossmember.
This chassis was built with mandrel-bent rails and has been
finished in gloss black to perfection. The driveline is a totally
custom setup that performs perfectly with hand-picked components
chosen to work in harmony with one another. A Dart Big Inch small
block aluminum head small block was chosen for this application,
topped with a Dart high-rise aluminum intake manifold, aluminum
water pump, flow-tested aluminum cylinder heads (with Scorpion
roller-tipped rocker arms), a high-lift camshaft and crowned with
Fi Tech Mean Street fuel injection unit. This combination makes a
staggering 590 horsepower, flowing through Hedman Side Exhaust
headers and exiting via custom-built fiberglass packed chambered
side exhaust mufflers that produce a heart-pounding exhaust note.
With a single tap of the key, the car fires up, and its electronic
fuel injection system wakes the beast, maintaining proper air to
fuel ratios and keeping the engine running crisply.
With all this performance, we kept comfort in mind as well, adding
Vintage Air air conditioning and a polished air compressor,
ensuring a comfortable ride as you row through the gears of the
Tremec 5-Speed TKO transmission. When you open the hood, you are
greeted by a totally custom engine compartment with a smooth
finished underhood displaying a white stinger that mirrors the one
from the topside of the hood. A custom sheetmetal air cleaner
(built To mimic the stinger hood), chrome plated hood latches and
hood prop, chrome power brake booster and master cylinder, polished
remote mount power steering reservoir, high-polished Dewitts big
block aluminum radiator (with chrome dual electric cooling fan)s,
ball-milled aluminum valve covers, billet aluminum engine pulleys
and hoses neatly wrapped in aluminum coverings are all in
display.
As you step inside this restomod, you will find one of the most
elegant interiors ever installed in a Corvette, with white headrest
seats, Bright Blue dash pads, a custom center console with cup
holder, Teakwood steering wheel, Bright Blue shoulder seat belts,
custom Bright Blue shift boot, coordinating blue carpets, a
factory-appearing radio with a USB port and modern speaker, and
power windows. This interior, much like the exterior, does not veer
far off the original GM design, but has all the "right additions"
to make it one of the most luxurious and well-appointed interiors
ever installed in a Corvette.
This car is professionally built by a company that is nationally
recognized for Corvette restoration. It is built with high
attention to detail, using only the best parts available on the
market. It is purpose-built to make even the most discerning
Corvette enthusiast look twice to see what has been altered.
